Former England captain Wayne Rooney has hit out at Matt Hancock after the health secretary said Premier League stars should take a pay cut amid the coronavirus crisis.
There have been calls for players to give up a chunk of their wages in recent days, with the Premier League also suggesting that they should take a pay cut of 30 per cent.
That has been met with fury, with a number of top flight players planning to make direct donations to the NHS as they battle with COVID-19.
And Rooney, who starred for Manchester United earlier in his career and now plays for Derby County, believes the pressure being put on football's stars is a 'disgrace'.
